Playhouse on Park’s Broadway-Style Cabaret fundraiser will feature ‘The Falcetti Four.’

Submitted

Playhouse will host “Broadway and Beyond: A Broadway Style Cabaret” in West Hartford on Monday, Aug. 4 from 7:30-9 p.m., with a wine and cheese reception beginning at 7 p.m.

This 90-minute Cabaret includes songs from your favorite Broadway shows, jazz standards, and more. Singers Carolyn Burke, Hillary Ekwall, Amanda Forker, and Rick Fountain have all performed previously on the Playhouse stage and are members of the original Falcetti Four.

In 2011, Playhouse on Park partnered with Falcetti Pianos to offer a free two-hour cabaret that was held every Friday night in Blue Back Square. What was meant to be a short-term series turned into a permanent event. “Facletti Fridays” occurred every Friday evening for two years, never missing a single Friday night! While eventually there was a wider rotation of singers, the original four included Carolyn Burke, Hillary Ekwall, Amanda Forker, and Rick Fountain. They were a consistent presence throughout these two years.

Colin Britt will accompany the singers at the Aug. 4 event. A complimentary wine and cheese reception will begin at 7 p.m. Refreshments will be available throughout the performance. This is a fundraiser for Playhouse on Park.

All tickets are $22.50 (inclusive of fees), reserved seating. This is a fundraiser for Playhouse on Park and 100% of the proceeds will be donated back to the theatre.
